455. The shattered Hogwarts defenses
Now that you've decided to surprise Voldemort, it's time to start the preparations.
The first is that the magical defenses of the entire castle need to be strengthened.
Under Dumbledore's arrangement, the heads of the Academy, led by Professor McGonagall, joined the ranks, and they constantly cast defensive spells around the castle, sparing every corner of the castle.
Uncle Peeves was annoyed by this, because it liked to hide in those horns and scary people, and now it was chased around by the professors, many professor-level wizards had magic that could expel it.
Hogwarts is a magical castle, but it doesn't have a self-healing function. Many facilities that are not commonly used are no longer in normal use due to their age, and these facilities are also one of the items that need to be repaired.
Don't forget the original purpose of Hogwarts – to preserve the last vestiges of bloodline for the wizarding world.
Many facilities are built for this purpose, as long as they can be repaired, and the defenses are very strong.
In fact, if Dudley draws a super large alchemy array that can cover the entire Hogwarts, it is entirely possible to directly repair the entire castle at once, but this is only possible, the entire castle has been applied too much magic and unique mechanisms, and the slightest accident will cause the castle to be repaired and the magical magic inside will be eliminated.
Hogwarts will be transformed into a mediocre castle.
If that's the case, it's better not to fix it.
"Even if the protective magic of an entire castle is restored, many times it should not be taken lightly."
The professors also began to admonish the young wizards.
Because of the turmoil outside, wizards from all over Europe are flocking to England, because everyone knows that England is currently the safest place in Europe, the Minister of Magic here has made Tom, the heir of the evil dark wizard 'that man', suffer a big loss, and here is the greatest white wizard Dumbledore who can make the previous generation of Dark Lord (Voldemort) fearful.
It's just that the wizards who poured into England were not all good-natured, and there were many people with ulterior motives who mixed in, including Death Eaters and other evil dark wizards.
Cohabitation.
"It's best not to go out easily during the holidays, and even if you go out, it's best to go together."
Evil wizards don't show mercy to you because of your age.
Compared to ordinary people, wizards are the best experimental materials, especially many savage wizards in remote places, who may still have an ancient tradition of using human bones to cast spells, and it is said that the younger the young wizard bones, the better the effect.
No one knows if the wizards who poured in were European.
The name of Hogwarts is known to everyone in the European wizarding world, but it is unknown in other places, and it is fun not to be occupied by wizards who don't know which corner Hogwarts did not capture by the Death Eaters.
"We've restored the statues, which Professor McGonagall did, and can be activated at any time with the power of the Headmaster, and not even the giants can easily break through. We've also strengthened the magic that prohibits apparitions, and thanks to the help of Sprout and Professors Snape, even the Dark Lord can't use apparitions."
The diminutive Professor Flitwick danced to Dudley about their Hogwarts defenses, with Professors McGonagall, Sprout, and Snape standing behind him.
As a professor of Charms, Professor Flitwick was the strongest of the four deans in Charms, so he was in charge of the protective equipment at this time, and it is worth mentioning that he was also very skilled in dueling, winning the world-class dueling tournament as a young man (the tournament was recognized as a dangerous sport by the Ministry of Magic and banned in 1883).
"When the time comes to unleash ultimate protection and impregnability against the sky, the whole of Hogwarts will become one of the most difficult fortresses to conquer."
Listening to Professor Flitwick's introduction, Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, and the fat old man Slughorn who followed him also nodded again and again, they have almost perfected all the defense equipment of Hogwarts, and it is Slughorn's wish to live in such a place full of security, and the sense of security is 100%.
Only Dudley looked dissatisfied: "Professor Flitwick, is there only this level of protection at Hogwarts?" ”
"Isn't that enough?" Professor Flitwick was a little confused.
The average person at Hogwarts can't get in at all.
"Do you really think that's enough?"
Dudley asked rhetorically, and seeing that Professor Flitwick was still puzzled, he continued.
"As far as I know, the magic 'No Apparitions' alone can only be used by wizards, but there are many ways to use apparitions at Hogwarts, such as house-elves, such as Fawkes, who are not in the category of prohibition."
The so-called 'Forbidden Apparition Apparitions' is only aimed at wizards, and no other non-human spell casters can be forbidden.
Voldemort didn't expect that if he knew this secret, he would never choose the Vanishing Cabinet, but just wait for people to come in.
Hearing Dudley's words, Slughorn, who was already satisfied, shrank his neck, and his sense of security dropped by at least 20%.
"The second point of stone magic is set at the main gate, if the opponent enters the side door through the back path, this magic loses its meaning."
"The third point is that the small bridge leading to the Forbidden Forest is completely unguarded, and there is nothing in the moat below."
"Fourth, there is no recon magic, and if the enemy uses stealth spells, it will be difficult for us to detect"
"The fifth point is that the perimeter of the Forbidden Forest should also be reinforced, and we should communicate well with the horses, they can be used as our outposts"
"Sixth, and most importantly, it's not enough to defend the sky with protective magic. If I were the other party and I bombed the ground directly from the sky, then all these facilities arranged in the early stage would be meaningless."
"Seventh, there is a threat from the underground, in addition to the sky."
"There is also the Black Lake at the eighth point, and the fish-people that inhabit it are also a good force, I recommend"
"Point 9"
"Point 10"
Listening to Dudley talking there, counting the underprotected areas of Hogwarts, the professors gradually opened their mouths.
Unexpectedly, Hogwarts, which they thought was already extremely strong, turned out to be so full of holes, and there were at least nearly a hundred ways to enter it unconsciously.
Slughorn's face became more and more ugly, and his sense of security had dropped to only ten percent.
If even Hogwarts isn't safe, where else can he go?
Ministry of Magic? Come on, it's not as good as Hogwarts.
